Chapter 38 – Page 4
And that’s all you’re gettin’ for the week! Team GA busted their humps on this’un, especially John (aka THE OMNIPOTENT MACHINE). Next page and regular updates resume on Monday!
In the meantime, y’all can just do your regular comment section thing and uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ask Us Anything? Fuckin’ why not.
Discussion (227) ¬
AMA? Uhh.
What’s your… favorite… 90s television show?
Surpriiiiise…!
Alphanumeric!
H.R.’s program? Virus: to corrupt and conquer.
’90s TV show? Probably Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Good man.
Voyager was better.
Ooooh, them’s fightin’ words.
Them’s losin’ words.
I liked Voyager beter too. But I grew up watching Next gen. DS9 was okay Enterprise not so much. But you have to hand it to TOS that started it all.
Enterprise was hands down one grillion times better than Voyager.
Enterprise hardly registers. It was bad writing and ehe production.
You have GOT to be kidding.
Catherine Janeway, the only Starfleet officer who doesn’t understand that the Prime Directive isn’t to be set aside for convenience. Worst Star Trek Captain by far. [Not the actress, mind you, the writing on the character.]
3 words: 7 of 9
I don’t hate Voyager like many do. But it definitely wasn’t better than TNG! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
And definitely not better than DS9.
I haven’t seen a single episode of Voyager, but I’d still wager it’s equal to or better than the horror show that was DS9.
And you’d be wrong for one reason: Neelix.
“Catherine Janeway, the only Starfleet officer who doesn’t understand that the Prime Directive isn’t to be set aside for convenience.”
I’m guessing you’ve never actually seen the original series… She was definitely not the only one.
First of all, it’s KATHRYN Janeway. Second of all, it’s canon that Jean-Luc Picard violated the Prime Directive on at least 9 separate occasions, and those are just the times that are in his official Starfleet records. Third, have you even seen any of the other series? All of them talk a good game about the Prime Directive, but they violate it whenever it’s convenient. I don’t see how you think Voyager is the only time that happens.
I’m not here to pick a favorite, I like all of them except maybe Enterprise, but I’ve never understood the Voyager hate.
Babylon: 5
Deep Space: 9
Clue: treat it as a football (soccer?) score…
Eli…
Space: 1999.
Game. Over.
2001: A space Odyssey.
Game over for you maybe, but I’m still rackin’ up points.
Cleopatra 2525. Your move.
This may be obvious now. Still:
3001: The Final Odyssey
One Million BC
But… but that should count against you, shouldn’t it?
|One Million BC|
Better now?
Well played.
Well MY favorite 90s show was Perfect Strangers (even though half of it was in the 80s), but still…I guess I’m the odd duck here.
Mine was probably the one-season sketch comedy show *The State*.
I didn’t discover The State until way later in life but I 100% agree to its quality.
now I’m going to have go watch that; I’ve never even heard of the State
So I’m curious. In your grand story, about how far along are we, and how long do you think it will take to tell the story of Guilded Age in full? And feel free to be as vague as you feel the need to :D
About 2/3 of the way through, I’d say.
so at 3 updates a week, that is about 3 years left (assumptions: average 25 pages per chapter x 19 chapters remaining = 475 pages left; continue 3 updates per week = 158 weeks or 3 years).
I’m marking my calendar: July 22, 2018 (because I have a 2018 calendar . . . ). The Apocalypse better not start before then…just sayin’
Coming back to this page from the future to say: dang, pretty close. Off by one month exactly.
http://guildedage.net/comic/johns-highlight-reel-part-three/
Whew! At least I’ve got some time to mentally & emotionally steel myself against the withdraw symptoms.
We have an outline specifying the number of chapters, though it’s changed a few times.
Hey, welcome back! Said the guest to the host. :P
I have no idea.
I’m only a reader, and as a creator you don’t qualify anyhow, but this gets *my* Gold Star!
I don’t know, I think I’ve actually seen John receive a gold star.
And I think it would be funny if he wasn’t joking, if the writers really did keep him in the dark.
“Next panel: WAV is sliding down a slope, like so: *stick figure drawing attached*”
“OK, so you want the exact same pose that Payet Best did when he was sliding down a slope in chapter 9?”
“I… what? No. It’s not the same pose at all. Who’s Payet Best? What slope?”
I was wondering if anyone noticed that. Nice catch. I can’t give out gold stars, but I’ll give you a silver one.
Oh, I didn’t notice it myself. Someone else pointed it out here some time ago. :)
About the time Frigg puked on him.
OK, that was appropriately epic.
Even so, H.R. might want to warn Carol about that transition stage.
…The first step is a doozy…
“Waiiiit a minute. This is the Countless? What a ripoff! He’s just some dude.”
“What should we do with him?”
“Frenzied tearing to shreds?”
“Works for me.”
HR: “Dudes! I shot out from the stage over a packed crowd and still hit the floor?! Crowd surfing FAIL.”
http://www.epicfail.com/2013/03/17/crowd-surfing-fail-3/
‘Nuff said.
Hmm … from the faces and races represented among the cultists, HR is in Arkerra. Yet travelling to a world like are own seems like a step sideways for a would-be God. It seemed HR had moved beyond experimenting with Arkerra to seeing that his real goal was traveling to a world “upstream” of our own, the world of which Sepia-world is a shadow in the manner that KOA is a shadow of Arkerra.
Is this destination a screw-up in HR’s incomplete understanding of ontological dynamics? Or does he have work to do in Arkerra that will enable his final transcendence to the realm of forms?
From what he’s been saying, he believes Arkerra is “upstream”. I think his understanding will prove to be flawed.
And I’m thinking of the Thalmor in the Elder Scrolls right now.
Or he doesn’t think of ‘upstream’ or ‘downstream’ at all, but has set things up so that he will have godly powers in Arkerra, and plans to decouple Arkerra and SepiaWorld entirely so that nothing that happens in the latter can interfere with his godhood in the former.
Given the bit of similarity to Penk’s jump into the volcano, I think he just became the avatar of the countless, so that should be a step up at least? Strikes me as short of his stated ambitions though.
In Sepia world, all the tubes are color-coded. Byron’s red, HR is purple… who’s yellow? Anyone remember other colors?
For some reason, HR’s assistant reminds me of Scipio’s girlfriend.
Any bets on her color?
Best is Yellow
Gravy is sort of golden or . . . puce?
Frigg is grey
Syr’Nj is green
Byron is Red
if you look back two pages you can see all of them in the tubes. Or if you look back at ch 9 pp14-15 there is some telling coloring.
I always thought that Gravy’s was tan-beige-desert-ish.
I love my Gravatar coincidences.
Carol’s tube isn’t colored. Yet HR’s tube was colored even before he got in it.
I think this is because Carol’s tube doesn’t really connect to Arkherra. I think HR lied when he told her that. I think it does something… else.
I don’t think hers is powered up yet.
Either this, or it’s black (for color variety), or white (if chosen for obvious reasons by HR).
Are HR and Byron related?
Nope.
Squashing the “I am your father” speculations so soon?
Yuppo.
Good that would have been just too frelled up.
Now that’s some hard core LARP-ing, it’s even crazier than: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1493886/
But seriously, a beautiful scene. A “fire walk with me” kind of moment.
A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw:
It was an Abyssinian maid
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight ’twould win me,
That with music loud and long,
I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.
That is my favorite poem ever. If for no other reason than the backstory.
In Xanadu did Khubla Khan
a stately pleasure-dome decree?
Or is this a poem inspired by that one?
Same poem. Kinds reminds me of HR wanting to “decree” his own piece of heaven but as always there’s a dark side to it.
The Panel 2 briefs kick is the bomb
Can you imagine the look on his poor minion’s face when he did that?
I bet Carol got all weak in the knees.
I really hope someone draws a picture of Carol just standing there, stunned, with HR’s tighty whities on her head.
And her horror on seeing that skid mark for the first time.
I’m not sure if it would be better or worse if the skid mark was purple.
What is in that vegan pad thai?
Lots of food die if it dose that.
“Damn… When I planned to go by H.R. to see my benefits package, today, this is not what I had in mind.” *shudder*
Panel four and the reflection does it for me :D
What happens when the CDC shows up?
It sounds like HR is heavily into the cave allegory at this point, placing Arkerra a grade above Sepia World. Much like the cave dwellers can’t put out the sun that represents the “false reality” to them, he thinks that there’s nothing that people in the Sepia World can do to mess wit Arkerra. If they shut off the machine, his sepia body might die but Brother Homon would go on living forever.
How wrong he is or is not remains to be seen.
He could have found out for sure if that’s true by unplugging the 5 and see if their characters keep living in Arkerra, but that would make too much sense.
And risk breaking the world before he assumes direct control?
He’s a shitty demiurge, but not that shitty.
“The hour grows late, and the shit? It grows real.”
The shit is real?!
…sorry, my Gravatar made me do it.
THE SHIT IS REEAAALLL!!!
La merde est réelle.
I Created it, and it is Real!
Die Scheiße ist real.
EXCREMENTO·REALIS·EST
*EXCREMENTUM
ROMANES EUNT DOMUS!
Skiten är verklig.
The shit is real. However real is a relative concept. The shit is real as we are real. The question becomes how real is anything?
It reflects Platonian shitfulness, but does not shine with its own stinky light of creation.
The sun shines upon the dung heap, yet is not corrupted.
Have you learnt nothing from this story? The shit is not real, it is but a shadow of the real shit.
Even a shadow is real. It’s just not the whole of the original.
You’re one of them bastards that got to leave the cave, aren’t ya.
As HR started to fall I couldn’t help but have Dive into the Heart start in my head. I haven’t even played Kingdom Hearts for years, but it’s still an influence.
Shit yes.
Real shit? EXCREMENTUM, perhaps?
One word came to mind, reading this page: apotheosis. I’m interested to see what H.R. will be able to do with his new body.
How many solid readers do you guys think you have?
Impossible to say for certain. But I love every one of them.
I…I’m sorry, Phil. I only like you as a friend.
I’d have to say the same…I’m hetero.
I’m open to this relationship.
I ship this.
Aww thats so sweet!
It seems like there should be some of them you only tolerate.
Sooo I just read the discussion about how the shit is now real, and… “solid readers” took on a whole different meaning.
“I be regular, bitches.”
Hey, being “regular” is a sign of a good diet & good health.
Over 9000!!!!!
What? You don’t care how many liquid, gaseous, or plasma readers they have? And what about the A.I. readers? Dark matter readers? Antimatter readers?
Just popping in to say this mega-update was GOD DAMNED AMAZEBALLS.
And now the story is REALLY progressing. Now that H.R. is finally in Arkerra, things are about to get REALLY serious, and I couldn’t be waiting with more anticipation.
(And I have the strong suspicion that it’ll be Shanna, and not Carol, who’ll be getting into that second pod and joining him in Arkerra.)
Considering how much she despises the very concept of “virtual reality”, that might require some serious argumentation.
I bet Xan might really enjoy the idea of getting into the tube to go into the game instead, but then again, I can see how much more entertaining it might be to see Shanna have to dive headfirst into something she despises, namely a video game, while Xan mans the controls or something to make sure she’s safe and give her instruction.
If’n yer answering questions…any of you lot played Star Ocean: Till the End of Time? The multiple layers of reality/video game aspect and the reader reaction thereto in GA really bring that game to mind.
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! i thought the name of that game had been forever lost to me.
You’re welcome.
I wish my PS2 was working, so I could play it again. >_>
Have you gentlemen considered creating an RPG based upon the races/settings/characters in your story?
That’s probably what said gentlemen were programmed to do.
And if you are when can we be expecting it?
Bah, humbug. Why would ANYONE want to play a power drunk nerd ? That class sucks.
I want to play the “arrogant and corrupt head-of-house” class!
I wanna be the Mega-Merchant.

HR is now level one.
But is he like–Oblivion level one with broken spells and stat bonuses far too powerful for the surrounding enemies?
It is difficult to express his level in terms of mundane numbers, as he is partially fused with infinity.
Penny Arcade reference?
http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/12/31
Even Level 1 of God Mode is pretty significant.
You kidding me he’s a GM. He’s hacked to beyond player max he’s a Raid boss that you don’t know is a player character, there will be no figuring out his rotation because he will adapt to each fight.
The question is – is he aware he’s HR? Or is he now Brother Homon through and through?
The Five all entered their tubes and, apparently, lost all memory of their lives outside Arkerra and fully *became* Byron, Syr’Nj et al. It’d rather throw a spanner in the works of HR’s plans if the same happened to him…
However, I’m guessing he’s worked out how to avoid that and as such is now in the powerful position of being both a GMPC and the ultimate metagamer, being the only one who knows all the rules, all his enemies’ stats and weaknesses, and all the little loopholes in the system – because he wrote the rulebook.
Good luck to the Five – they’ll need it; this is going to be like mid-level characters taking on an epic-level boss statted (with the instruction to “go nuts”) and played by (the late lamented) Gary Gygax himself.
When the Five entered Arkherra, they joined the bodies of people who had always existed in Arkherra. Byron, Syr’Nj, Gravedust, Frigg and Payet were born there, grew up there, and spent decades there before the spirits of five players in another universe entered their bodies like Final Fantasy 8 characters.
Since then, HR has clearly improved on the process. He just shot out of a giant dimensional portal. There’s no telling who or what he is now. All bets are off.
I’m sure HR has set it so that his memory will remain mostly intact he’s looking at this as an escape from the world and an ascention to Godhood he would not want to be like the players trapped by their perception of the world. He would want the power to change things to suit himself not be limited by the framework. He’s already given his avatar knowledge of what lies beyond Arkherra and used the avatar to shift the balance. This step allows him a better reaction time to what the others do and a much finer control over his avatar taking out the keyboard interface he must use in sepia world and literally making his actions at a thought. He would not risk himself being hindered in any way. If he thought he could be he would have sent Carol in first to test it.
Heh. Long-form storytelling.
heh sure this is a good weeks worth of doodles from yous guys. ten stars out of ten. I got my Guilded jones all fixed til MondaY. How do you do it week after week?
I really don’t know.
Do you REALLY not know, or is that a coverup for the tube of clones in the basement?
No man, like… I really don’t know. We’re so impossibly bad at running this as a business and we barely make enough just to pay John and I have no idea how this train is still running (more or less) on time.
We’ll have a Patreon soon.
You’d better. You’re the first webcomic I’ve wanted to throw money at. And I will. :)
Yeah… It’s now more than a year that this Patreon thing was adressed… (http://guildedage.net/blog/state-of-the-guild-2015/) I would have given then. I might in the future. A lot of readers will, I’m sure.
hear hear!
Oh god, it´s him !
Who ?
God !
Him ?
Yes !
Oh.
“Yep, we’re boned.”
Do the player characters like e-Merl keep acting when the player is disconnected ?
Is the player aware of what happened during his disconnection time ?
+
Can Rachel’s player basically recreate her character from scratch ? A giant-rat fighting level 1 Rachel, with her memories ?
I’d love to see the plot twists wherein Xan and Shanna find Lia, and eventually Lia enters the tube in time for Rachel to foil HR’s climactic moment.
Yes.
No.
Don’t know yet.
That would be awesome.
Is it wrong that my first thought was “How in the world are they going to translate this to a hard copy?”
… I keep rereading my three books from the FRIGGSTARTER and then I get sad that I don’t have any more to ready. No internet at home :c
So I guess my AMA question is whether or not there are any plans in the works about publishing additional books? I know you need a rest from the FRIGGSTARTER and are planning on going about it in a different way in the future, but is it still a possibility?
Rest, nothing. We’re still wrapping up stuff on the FRIGGSTARTER. Oh, my aching hubris.
But yes, when we’re ready to try the next book(s), it’ll basically be Kickstarter or bust.
Right. Valid point. I keep forgetting I get MORE awesomeness from you guys in the future. Which just goes to show how badass you folks are <3
So… what’s your plan for keeping that massive stache from pushing the mask off HR’s face… then you know… drowning?
It is a common misconception that moustaches are separate entities from their host bodies. They are symbiotic in nature, and therefore it has no incentive to endanger or abandon its host.
Next, you gonna try and tell us that Cigar isn’t the real Scipio ! ><
The nature of their relationship is a private matter.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Sometimes.

I’m curious about that panel where HR is weeping and looks into the adjacent room. Is it a Flashback to something I don’t remember?
I remember that scene too, but I can’t remember the context.
Ah, found it. Chapter 22, page 23.
AMA – There was mention of skidmarks, and shit getting real, which leads me to ask, since they are in tubes of water…How are bodily functions handled? This is less of a perversion question as it is a filling in technological plot gaps type question. I don’t recall seeing tubes for such matters.
The fluid in the tank and the system that distributes it/changes it is designed to deal with all matters of hygiene.
I guess there’s also some intravenous feeding system in place? And what prevents the muscles from atrophying?
I know, I’m putting too much into a fantasy story, but I gotta hand it to you guys, it’s a pretty amazing ride so far. Keep it coming! *thumbsup*
’cause of the size of the tubes, and the fact that they’re not held down by anything, I imagine that the ‘dive’ system allows their body to continue sending weak signals to their muscles- they’re probably twitching and moving all over the place in the tubes based on what they’re doing in Arkerra.
Man, the guy playing Best must have almost smashed his tube with his twitching in the early ‘become a huge douche’ stage of his hero career. {page 1-19}
Their bodies are being sustained by magitek power.
Liquid diets create surprisingly little waste.
Part of me can’t help but speculate about what “powers” HR has in-game.
The other part wants the Cult to immeadiately kill their “god of death” because it would be a hilarious plot subversion.
Jim:”He’s here!”
Nietzsche: “Death is here!” *stab*
Jim “Death…. wait… did you just… is He…. um…”
*shocked silence*

Favorite RPGs of all time? I’m trying to hit classics
Gotta go with Chrono Trigger on this one.
Sorry Phil, but it beats the pants off Chrono Cross.
While i agree, the name of this particular opening really takes it home: Scars of Time.
Main concern with Chrono Cross I guess is just that it do as much as we would have liked as a sequel, didn’t really seem to connect as much with the original story as we wanted.
Heck, I am still unsure if Serge is actually a certain matricidal magician we all know and fear.
Guile. Guile is Magus. Not Serge.
But yeah, it’s a failure as a sequel. I can only assume the writers thought that Chrono Trigger sucked and wanted to distance themselves from it, or thought that it was too obscure and that no one would have played it. As a game in its own right, it’s… a B-, I guess.
Literally the only reason I *didn’t* say Chrono Trigger is because saying Chrono Trigger is your favorite RPG is like saying The Beatles is your favorite band.
Like, it just doesn’t need to be said because almost everyone would say it. Trigger is obviously the best but Cross is my favorite. This is all of course assuming we don’t count the Metal Gear Solid series as an RPG.
That said, I DID like the battle system better in Cross. And I thought it was bold as fuck that it was almost nothing like the original at all.
JRPGs…are special. Everyone talks a lot, even during fights. And everyone is so damn POLITE.
Also, there is a lot of flying and mid-air-fighting involved. Never found out why.
Maybe exceptions to those rules exist…
Epic update! So, is HR in Hooman’s body now? If that’s the case, is his transgression into Arkerra more permanent or physical than the other characters? He looks like he is beserking when he lands before his eyes turned purple.
I wouldn’t say berzerking. It just looks like there’s some pain involved in the process of settling one’s soul inside a new body.
Man, this is so cool!
The purple eyes are surely symbolic; they just match the tie too well.
Allow me a moment to think way too deeply about it:
Since there seems to be such emphasis placed on his eyes numerous times on this page, I’d hazard a guess that the symbolism of his one purple feature somehow revolves around his role in each world. He has ditched the symbol of his worker/businessman life (the tie) and now he sees; he knows. He’s a god in this world now. (eyes)
Or maybe I really am thinking too hard and the eyes are just taking the place of the purple tie since there aren’t really ties in Arkerra and the symbolism of the purple is yet to be revealed.

And for half a second I was like “Who the hell is she, and who is she calling a godslave, and why is she OOOOOOOOOH.”
I was so expecting the tie to manifest with him.
A question?
Ummmm, does senpai-no wait we already covered that..
Ooooh I know: WHY PURPLE? (One-Eyed People Eaters? Barney Conspiracy?!?)
The answer will disappoint you:
I like purple and wanted to make his color purple.
Purple also indicates royalty or superiority, so… that seemed appropriate as well.
Only color given out to 10 year vets.

If I ever have my physical vessel disintegrated from around me, I hope it doesn’t start wang-first.
Wang disintegration is always a risk when penetrating the veils between realities…
Everybody wang gone tonight.
He may like the symbolism of that being the first fleshy-part to manifest in the other reality, though, especially if he fancies himself a fertility god.
In the case of Wang Gogh, it started with the ears.
…
Okay, that was PRETTY bad.
Just as long as the Wang dose not grow a wing
Have you guys ever seen any of the “trapped in an MMORPG” genre of anime? (Log Horizon, dothack, Sword Art Online?) If so, what’s good and what sucks about ’em? What are your favorite video games and why?
Some have a decent smattering of action interspersed with the slice of life “Wow! We’re living in a game” moments (dothack, as far as I got which wasn’t all that far and definitely the first season of Sword Art) and others are more about the day to day ins and outs of living there (definitely Log Horizon).
Never heard of Log Horizon. I didn’t like .hack// and the commercials like… sold the HELL out of how broody it was, so I was kind of turned off at the time. Also probably because “everyone else” was all about it and I’m contrarian as fuck.
I didn’t check out Sword Art Online because I already watched Bleach. Fool me once, etc etc.
Favorite video games include the Metal Gear Solid series, Chrono Trigger + Cross, Pokemon series, Super Mario Bros series… King’s Quest VI is probably my favorite game of all time. My gaming habits lately are peak boring: I’m basically just playing Heroes of the Storm and Hearthstone and hating myself.
When Phantom Pain drops, you will not hear from me for like a week.
Reading that you’re heavily linked into Blizzard games at the moment while reading this particular comic makes me wonder if sometime down the road we’ll find a godly Phil card in Hearthstone.

The music is great as hell for .hack, but yeah, it’s Evangelion internet-style. I got into .hack//SIGN at a bad time in my life, and watching it pulled me out, but it’s so EVA I can’t even. I’ve tried to get into Sword Art Online, twice, and really couldn’t, (You think it’s Bleach?! HA HAHA! It’s so much worse.) The SAO Abridged Series, though, that’s hysterically funny. Are you anticipating the P.T. spiritual successor Allison Road?
I loved the Hell out of Evangelion, and still do. But there only needs to be one Evangelion.
I will check out SAO abridged if it’s anywhere close to as good as Team Fourstar.
I didn’t play P.T. and frankly, not too much interest. Horror games do not do it for me. Too visceral, not enough needless number-fiddling.
I have…. mixed feelings on EVA. *spoilers* Shinji’s psychological epiphany in the series would’ve worked well as a midpoint, then he could’ve saved the world, or recreated it, while working on saving himself.*spoilers* End of EVA was like watching someone’s mental breakdown in real time, and is worth watching for that aspect alone, but I prefer the new movie franchise, even if it’s currently trodding a frighteningly familiar road, from what I hear. I sort of agree with JesuOtaku’s review, here: http://blip.tv/jesuotaku/neon-genesis-evangelion-mega-review-2756447
Yeah, the show doesn’t end with the last episode to me, but with End of Evangelion.
Hmmm…. interesting….. *fingersteeple* I think you may enjoy Red vs. Blue. It… explores existentialist themes in a way similar to both Eva and Guilded Age.

HR´s avatars have been cursed with eternal moustache-ness.
Anyone else notice HR initially has a “berserker face” on arrival?
Was rereading just now and noticed Carol’s reflection in the tube in panel 4!! Had to do a search through the comments, nobody seems to have noticed it (or posted about it rather). Beautiful!! Hats off to you guys, John & Jason!!
